How can I extract iframes from text with Perl's Mojo::DOM

Question

I have this text and when I do:

print STDERR (Mojo::DOM->new($args->{'body'})->at('iframe')); 

output:

<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" scrolling="no" 
src="http://localhost:8000/embed/static/clips/2012/12/17/28210/test-rush" width="480">
</iframe>`

It is just printing the first iframe in the body. Why is it not printing the other iframes and can I put all iframes in an array?

Answer 1

According to Mojo::Dom documentation. The at function only finds the first element matching. So it should only return 1. I think find is what you are after, as it returns a collection that matches

use strict;
use warnings;

use Mojo::DOM;

my $dom = Mojo::DOM->new();
while (<DATA>) {
    $dom->append_content($_);
}

#print $dom;

print $dom->find('iframe');

__DATA__

<p><iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://localhost:8000/embed/static/clips/2012/12/17/28210/test-rush" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></p>

<p><iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://localhost:8000/embed//static/video/2012/09/07/fnc-ff-20120907-doocytaxes" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" scrolling="\&quot;no\&quot;"></iframe></p>

prints your iframes:

<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" scrolling="no" src="http://localhost:8000/embed/static/clips/2012/12/17/28210/test-rush" width="480"></iframe> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" scrolling="\&quot;no\&quot;" src="http://localhost:8000/embed//static/video/2012/09/07/fnc-ff-20120907-doocytaxes" width="480"></iframe> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" scrolling="no" src="http://localhost:8000/embed/static/clips/2013/04/29/29939/fnc-an-20130429-hemmermooredebtgdp" width="480"></iframe>

EDIT:

1. You can iterate over each iframe with each function of Mojo::Collection:

   my $collection = $dom->find('iframe');

   $collection->each(sub {
       my ($e, $count) = @_;
       print "$count: $e\n"; # Or do something besides print. 
    });
   

2. You can add an @ to loop over it like an array:

   foreach (@$collection) {
      print "\n Next Elt.:", $_->{src}, ",\n"; #still access elements of iframe with ->
   }
